Hi,
I'm about to finish my first Oud. I'm not sure I want to make the pegs, mainly because of the price of a peg shaper! Can anyone point me to a source
for nice pegs (preferably in Europe)? Google points me to inexpensive pegs'sets made from olive wood: can I trust them? I'm also looking for 11
strings sets...
Thanks for answering!

I've purchased pegs from SVS in Slovakia (http://www.tonewood.sk) Very wide selection and styles. Don't use olivewood pegs. Rosewood or boxwood are good choices.

Thank you very much, Jameel, and thanks also for your wonderful website and very useful "journal".
What size should I order (cant find Oud pegs, (only violin 1/4, 2/4, etc...) What strings are you using for an 11 strings Oud and where do you buy
them?
Thanks!
